2011 Map of Flatwillow

About this map

Flatwillow anchors this Petroleum County landscape, characterized by the winding path of Flatwillow Creek and its convergence with Pike Creek. This rural Montana survey illustrates a land defined by water management and transit, where livestock and agriculture rely on features like Sharkey Number 1 Dam and Eliasson Dam. The settlement pattern is sparse, with the local history of the area centered around the Flatwillow Cemetery and the junction of Rte 244 and Pike Creek Rd. To the south, the terrain descends toward Little Wall Creek, showing the drainage patterns typical of the high plains. The map provides a clear look at the road network, including the gravel stretches of Flatwillow Rd that connect these remote ranching outposts to the wider region.
